This analysis focuses on trips to work and study which are potentially cyclable (meaning trips of up to 20 km in a straight line or 30 km by road).
Comprehensive POWSCAR data are available for trips to work and study, so the statistics on this page focus on these trip purposes. In Kerry, 29575.8 daily trips (of <20km length) are made to work, 12759 to primary education, 8678 to secondary education, and 1344 to tertiary education. The route network maps also include estimates of trips made for other purposes including utility and social trips.
The vast majority of trips to work and study (primary, secondary or tertiary education) are made by car (73%). Cycling represents 1.7% of the trips to work and study.
The mode share of cycling for these trips is as follows, based on the Electoral Division in which each trip originates.
Trips by purpose and mode are shown for purposes for which we have data from POWSCAR.
Car trips represent 77% of total trips to work. Educational trips have a higher proportion of trips by active modes (walking and cycling).
In Kerry, the vast majority of cycling trips to work and study are for distances up to 10 kilometers, specifically NA% of the total cycling trips.
The following graphs show how work and educational trips by distance bands and modes of transport vary according to the CRUSE scenarios of future cycle uptake. Cycling trips increase in all of these scenarios, although some are more ambitious than others. The most ambitious scenario is Ebike followed by Go Dutch, Climate Action Plan, and Near Market.
